Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Strange Wilderness (2008): Dir: Fred Wolf / Cast: Steve Zahn, Alan Covert, Ashley Scott, Kevin Hefferman, Jonah Hill: A pitiful comedy about man's relationship with nature. Too bad the screenwriter didn't get it on quite as well with the screenplay. Steve Zahn and Allen Covert host a nature program that is threatened with termination so they set out to film Bigfoot. Lame setup fades into routine road movie clichés and gross humour. Director Fred Wolf does his best but production is cheap right down to the rubbery looking Bigfoot costume. The idea of Zahn and Covert as nature hosts is appealing but they quickly becomes props to the clichés and juvenile humour. Zahn storms into a hospital after a turkey tried to "gobble" his penis. Covert is seen but does little. Ashley Scott serves no other purpose other than to be presented as a sex object for the guys. Kevin Hefferman scores a few laughs as a former mechanic and alcoholic but perhaps if the film was about this guy then maybe its chances of being funny would increase. This is a major deduction for Jonah Hill after his hilarious work in Superbad. Unfortunately he too becomes lost within a parade of idiocy. This is Fred Wolf's second unfunny comic mess this year. He also helmed the extreme xeroxed bunny brained House Bunny as well. This is a stupid comedy that should be stomped upon by Bigfoot itself. Score: 2 ½ / 10

Strange Wilderness is fantastic for the fact that it is completely unfunny. I mean, I never laughed once during this movie. It's incredible. Not once. It tried, I'll give it that much. It certainly tried. Throughout the entire movie, though, you had to find the joke. Either that, or they would play a joke (that didn't make us laugh the first time) about 4 times over in succession (didn't they ever hear about the rule of 3 in comedy?). Totally unfunny. I never laughed once during this movie. Which amazes me. I usually laugh at *something* during a terribly done comedy (though more often than not it's at how stupid the movie is). I mean, that's pretty much it, really. For the most part it was just mediocre, but what makes it god-awful is the fact that succeeds at making the audience laugh 0% of the time.2/10

Is it the godfather? No. Is it raging bull? No. Is it a decent waste of time? Sure. I am a Steve Zahn fan, so I enjoyed it. The acting is not the greatest--this is a group of friends that have access to cameras, and just had a good time. There isn't much of a script--again, it is a group of friends that got together. But, not every movie has to change the world. You can't watch every movie just to change your life or perspective on world hunger. I don't think I would go so far to buy this movie, or even rent it. But to watch it on cable? Not a bad deal. Sometimes, sometimes, you just want to go to woods and wander around and look at porcupines. Strange wilderness, indeed.

Will it win an award? No.Is it the dumbest god damn thing ever put to celluloid? Probably.Is it also insanely funny? Hell yes.Does it achieve it's goal of making you laugh/killing time while you wait for a pizza to arrive before you watch The Bicycle Thieves or The Third Man? Yeah, and that's how I started watching this movie. My friends and I rented about eight of the best films ever made, then picked this one up because our local video store didn't have a copy of Miller's Crossing.It...rocked. In a night of the greatest movies ever made, we still loved this film for actually accomplishing it's only goal: making you cry with laughter.
